Default Curbed wheel steering is slightly off

I was going about 7 mph and curbed the wheel kinda hard on my passenger side front wheel.. wheel doesn't seem bent but the steering wheel is slightly off like maybe 1 cm.. Gonna go get an alignment.. is there anything I should keep in mind.. Also the car sways to the right just slightly.. like itll switch over one lane if i drive for about 250 or so feet.. I drove about 70mph on the freeway and steering wheel didn't shake nor did I notice any extra road noise... thanks in advance.. Also I have uneven tire wear on that side.. My pass side rear tire is more worn.. had a bad bearing and got it fixed.. Also the camber on the rear is slightly off by just a bit..

When you go in for the alignment, be honest and tell them what you did. They should check for bent parts. Alignment may fix it, but you probably have a bent tie-rod, or possibly an A-arm.

Took the car to honda and they said it was just an alignment.. They fixed it. Guess I got lucky.
